A circuit board and a circuit module more accurately provide impedance matching between an antenna coil and an electronic component electrically connected to the antenna coil, and include a board body including board portions and a plurality of laminated insulating material layers made of a flexible material. An antenna coil includes coil conductors provided in the board portion. Wiring conductors are provided in the board portion and electrically connected to the antenna coil. The board portion has a structure that is less likely to deform than the board portion. An integrated circuit electrically connected to the wiring conductors is mounted on the board portion.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A circuit board, comprising: a first board portion and a second board portion each including an insulating layer made of a flexible material; an antenna coil including a coil conductor provided with the insulating layer in the first board portion; a wiring conductor provided with the insulating layer in the second board portion and electrically connected to the antenna coil; and a magnetic substance layer; wherein the first board portion and the second board portion are arranged so as to include regions that face each other; and the magnetic substance layer is provided with the first board portion and is located between the coil conductor of the first board portion and the wiring conductor of the second board portion.
2. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a board body, which includes the first board portion and the second board portion, is bent such that the first board portion and the second board portion include the regions facing each other.
3. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic substance layer has an area size that is larger than an area size of the first board portion in plan view.
4. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein an electronic component electrically connected to the wiring conductor is mounted on a principal surface of the second board portion, which is opposite to the region of the second board portion that faces the region of the first board portion.
